WILL PROTEST
EKllffl FRANCE
•
Against the Action of Spain in
Sending Armed Vessel to
the Philippines.
WILL BE NICE QUESTION'
As to Whether Right Belongs to
Her or Not—Commission Will
Be Ready to Report.
By Associated Press.
lu.K. uct. iO —«A dispatch to.the
H< raid from Washington says;
The United States may submit a .diplo
matic pretest to Spain through the French
government against its action in sending
a Spanish auxiliary cruiser loaded with
arms and ammunition to the Philippines.
In any event the matter is under con
sideration and it is believed has been call
ed to the' attention of the American com
missioners in Paris.
The cruiser in question is the Buenos
Ayres, belonging to the Spanish auxiliary
navy, whfch Rear Admiral Dewey reported
to the navy department a few days ago is
due to arrive at Singapore straight*, settle
ment October 13th.
It is appreciated by the authorities that
Spain has the same right in the eyes of
international law to send reinforcements
to the Philippines, this government has
and any protest made would be of the most
diplomatic character and simply' designed
to make it plain that the continuance of
the voyage of the Buenos Ayres is objec
tionable.
On the other hand, a member of the
cabinet tonight said that all of the Philip
pines, with the exception of Manila, are
in the nominal possession of Spain and
that it is her undoubted privilege, if she
deems it advisable to do so, to send troops
to the eastern islands to subdue any in
surrection that may occur.
Another member of the cabinet, who
talked the matter over with the president,
admitted that Spain has the moral right
to dispatch reinforcements to the Philip
pines, but as the forces of this government
are in control it is within its authority to
prevent such reinforcements reaching their
destination. However it is not expected
that the matter will go -beyond that pro
test if it goes that far.
From the dispatches received from Chair
man Day the authorities are still of the
opinion that the work of the peace com
mission will be completed before congress
meets.
Mr. Day takes quite an optimistic view
of the situation. It is his desire to limit
the time of discussion of ‘he various points
raised as much as possible in order that
the negotiations may reach an early con
clusion.
Information which has been received
here shews conclusively that Spain has no
further hope of foreign interference and
this fact leads the authorities to believe
that she will net attempt to drag the ne
goiation out a’s long as she would if she
believed . there was-a chance-oF any Eu-»
ropean government* attempting to secure
a modification of the American terms.

DIAMOND LUNCH ROOM,
The Ladies Lunch Counter Will Be a Great
Help.
The ladies of the Kindergarten and Hos
pital Association will open* up their lunch
room at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning and
will keep it open all during the week. The
very best of meals will be served at a
moderate cost and there is no doubt that
they will do an excellent business/ All of
the business men are requested' to bring
their visiting friends around and to let
them see what the ladies have on their
menu.
The object of the ladies in conducting
the lunch counter is to secure funds to
assist in the Kindergarten and Hospital
work. The proceeds gained by the sales
will be equally divided between the two
associations.
On the night of the Venetion Revels the
ladies will have a tent ot the intersection
of Third and Cherry streets and will serve
refreshments there. It will be one of the
most popular places in the city on that
night and will no doubt do a thriving busi
ness. , t
CAMP~MOVED.

New Site is Much Healthier
Than Camp Price.
The removal of the equipments of the
First Georgia regiment from Camp Price
took place Saturday and the soldiers who
volunteered to remain until the return of
the others will be employed for several
days putting up the tents and laying off
the streets. The new camp is situated be
tween the Ocmulgee park and the Holton
road and is a beautiful site for a camp.
It is now only fifteen days before the other
men will return to camp to be mustered
out. Many people are of the opinion and
so are many of the soldiers that they will
be ordered held and that they will have
to remain in the service for some time yet.
Governor Atkinson when here stated, how
ever. that the government had promised
to muster out the boys and that he- felt
sure that the officials would abide by their
promise.
The men who are now in camp seem
very much pleased with the new site and
say that it is good as any place that they
have yet seen.
Old fashions in dress may be revived,
but no old fashioned medicine can replace

WHITE WS COUNTRY
Now and the Red Man IVTust Go-
Pathetic Words of the Old
Rascal and Brave.
By Associated Preas.
Omaha, Oct. 10.—“ The Minnesota In
dianswill see that they have made a great
mistake in going on the war path,” says
Geronimo, tne famous lApache chief, who
is one of the Indians now in camp at tne
Indian
“I have never been in Minnesota, but I
hear tnat up there and for hundreds of
miles beyond the white men are as many
as the blades of grass. If tnat is so what
can a few poor Indians do in a light. For
years I fought the white man, thinking
that with my few braves I could kill them
all and that we would again have the land
that our great father gave us and wnicn
he covered with game. I thought that
the Great Spirit would be with us'and t-hat
after we killed the white man the buffalo,
deer and antelope would come back. Af
ter I fought and lost and after I traveled
over the country in which the white man
lives and saw his cities and the work that
he had done my heart was ready to burst.
I knew that the race of the Indians was
run.”
Asked what he thought would eventually
become of the Indian Geronimo hesitated
a moment and then, pointing to the west,
replied:
“The sun rises and shines for a time and
then it goes down, sinking out of sight and
is lost, so it will be with the Indians.”
“When I was a boy my old father told
me that the Indians were as many as the
leaves on the trees and that way off in the
north they had many' horses and furs. I
never saw them, but < know that if they
were there then they have gone now and
the white man has taken all
It will be only a few years more until the
Indians will be heard of no more except
in the books that the white man has writ
ten. They are not the people that the
Great Father loves, for if they were he
would protect them. They have tried to
please him, but they do no: know how.
“Schools are good things for Indians,
but it takes many years to change the na
ture of an Indian. If an Indian boy goes
to school and learns to be like a white
boy he comes back to the agency nd there
is nothing for him to do but put on a
blanket and be like an Indian again. This
is where the government is to blame.
When it takes our children away and edu
cates them it should give them something
to do, not turn them loose to run wild
upon the agency. Until that time comes
educating the Indian is throwing money
; away. What can an educated Indian do
out in the sage brush and cactus?
"There will be no more big Indian wars.
The Indians’ fighting days are over and
there is nothing left for him to do but to
be a beggar and live on charity around
the agency.”

ANNEX TO HOSPITAL.
Work on the New P'lilding : s Progressing
• r a 'dly •
Work on the new annex to the city hos
pital is progressing rapidly and it will not
be many weeks before the building is fin
ished. It was thought at one time that
iMr. Gresham, the generous donor of the
building, would be here this week to lay
the corner stone and that it would be one
of the features for the Carnival. He was
unable to come, however, and the corner
stone will have to be laid later on in the
fall.
The building will be one of the hand
somest in the city when it is complet'd
and will be a great help to the present
hospital which is entirely too small for
the number of patients. The laying of the
corner stone whenever it takes place will
be a big thing and all of the city will
turn out to witness it. It is very probable
that it will take place seme time next
month.
SOLDIERS IMPROVING.
Those 'n Hospital Arp Getting Better Every
Dav.
The three soldiers who were sent from
, the regimental hospital at Camp Price to
the city hospital are improving rapidly and
will soon be well enough to be discharged.
When carried to the hospital they were
very sick men but they have received the
best of attention and are doing nicely.
Private White, who was at one time re
ported dead, is improving every day and
will soon be able to be sent home. The
men are very much pleased at the change
from the camp to the hospital and say that
they have never received better treatment
anywhere. They are the only sick men
in the First Georgia at present. None of
the men who remained in camp have been
taken sick and the health of the camp is
very good.
